It’s like how, after 9/11, there were mass marches in sympathy all over the Arab world that got very little covereage here. Especially in Iran (but hey, for them, any opportunity to bash Sunnis is a good day!)

Sadly, the media is turning this tragedy into a political circus/fear-mongering fest like we have never seen. The comments on many forums all ring with the same condemning attitudes: “Where are all those ‘good’ Muslims?” When if many were to go beyond their pre-concluded prejudices, they would find that their answer is just a little digging away…

That’s certainly possible jonolan. However, I saw many Libyans there intereviewd last night on BBC and they spoke English – most of them quite fluently. But even if it were staged, to what nefarious purpose would that be? The gov’t in Libya does NOT want to alienate America. THey need us and will be our friends if we stay the course.
